Ask a vague question...get a vague answer.
You'll need to get a little more organised with your thoughts if you are considering moving abroad to attend college or university of all things.
Also, college and university refer to two very different institutions over there.
In general
Expect higher debts
More partying
More self-directed learning
The last two will sink you if you're not committed. Ask yourself why you are going.

You mean it works?
When i was in America a few years ago all I heard was students complaining that all it did was leave them with huge debts and not much hope of a good education.
I have heard it said that an American degree as about the same as a couple of British 'A' Levels.

What do you mean? Admissions? Classes? Registration? Housing? Graduation? Be more specific.

It doesn't. Just look what it churns out - George W Bush, Dan Quayle, need I go on...?

You enroll, register for classes, pay your tuition, buy your books then attend classes.
